Default Re: Best way to sharpen new machetes

Yep a simple mechanics vise from the hardware store to clamp the blade in and a flat bastard file will do it. It pust a rough edge on it but its a machete, so itll be fine. And it takes about 10 minutes per side to file an edge on one.

The latest caliber or gear is no substitute for experience and skill. Rifles and cartridges don't make hits -- shooters do.
